À propos de cet audio
Oprah’s Book Club 2018 Selection
Newlyweds Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the American Dream and the New South. He is a young executive, and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting career. But as they settle into the routine of their life together, they are ripped apart by circumstances neither could have imagined. Roy is arrested and sentenced to 12 years for a crime Celestial knows he didn't commit.
Though fiercely independent, Celestial finds herself bereft and unmoored, taking comfort in Andre, her childhood friend, and best man at their wedding. As Roy's time in prison passes, she is unable to hold on to the love that has been her center. After five years, Roy's conviction is suddenly overturned, and he returns to Atlanta ready to resume their life together.
This stirring love story is a profoundly insightful look into the hearts and minds of three people who are at once bound and separated by forces beyond their control. An American Marriage is a masterpiece of storytelling, an intimate look deep into the souls of people who must reckon with the past while moving forward - with hope and pain - into the future.

Thelonious "Monk" Ellison's writing career has bottomed out: his latest manuscript has been rejected by seventeen publishers, which stings all the more because his previous novels have been "critically acclaimed." He seethes on the sidelines of the literary establishment as he watches the meteoric success of We's Lives in Da Ghetto, a first novel by a woman who once visited "some relatives in Harlem for a couple of days."

In the waning days of the Civil War, brothers Prentiss and Landry—freed by the Emancipation Proclamation—seek refuge on the homestead of George Walker and his wife, Isabelle. The Walkers, wracked by the loss of their only son to the war, hire the brothers to work their farm. Prentiss and Landry, meanwhile, plan to save money for the journey north and a chance to reunite with their mother, who was sold away when they were boys. Equal parts beauty and terror, The Sweetness of Water is an epic whose grandeur locates humanity and love amid the most harrowing circumstances.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"Narrators Eisa Davis and Sean Crisden skillfully portray Celestial and Roy.... In Part One, the narrators read the couple's letters so intimately that the listener may feel like an intruder.... As every wedding vow is tested, the narrators breathe intensity into Jones's riveting prose." (AudioFile)

Not what I expected
I enjoyed this book, but it was not what I expected. It was an engaging narrative, but I found the characters a little flat. The narrator for Audible version was good. #Audible1

Wonderful book!
Loved this title but the only criticism I have is when the male narrator imitates the female voice. Voice is a powerful conveyor of character and when the male narrator performs the voice for Celestial one gets the impression of a meek and whinny woman; a contradiction to when the female narrator performs chapters as Celestial.

Great story!
I enjoyed listening to this book, it was well written and the readers did a great job with the voices. I’m definitely going to recommend this to my friends and family, I’m even thinking about buying the hard copy to reread it in the future :)

Enjoyable
overall I enjoyed this story. I found it hard to focus in parts, and it took me a while to get through the full story. I didn't much like the changes in voices. although I understood the reason for the representation of the different characters. Not as exciting a read as I had initially expected.

Excellent book, confusing narration
Like others have said, this is a beautifully written story. You will change your opinion on each character 10 times before you reach the end. Loving, desperate, hopeful and sad, this book does all the things. That being said, the male narration of the female characters voice is confusing. As indicated by others, it is pitchy, whining, and a far departure from the powerful voice of the female narrator. If you can get beyond that I would highly recommend.
